Goals for the Day
- Define "jingoism" and determine to what degree we see it in American ideology and rhetoric.
- Understand Aristotelian Appeals (logos, pathos, and ethos) and identify examples in rhetorical discourse.
Starter #13
- Ray Raphael says, "We continue to see ourselves as David to prove we are not Goliath..." What does he mean by this? How does he see this as a result of mythologizing the study of history? Why should we care?
What is jingoism?
Pair share:
- Look up definitions.
- Do we see "jingoistic interests" in contemporary ideology and rhetoric?
EDMODO: Do we agree with Ray Raphael's claim that "the historical self-portrait of America as the little guy, together with a myopic denial of international politics, fuels the quest for unbounded global power"?
